FAIRBANKS - A Fairbanks man who ran up more than $11,000 on a church's debit card has struck a plea deal and been sentenced to six years.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that under terms of the agreement with 23-year-old Adam Bloom, two and a half years of the sentence will be suspended while he spends five years on probation. He must also make restitution.

He was accused of taking the Plack Road Baptist Church's debit card and PIN number and using them 91 times in April and May.

As part of the deal, he pleaded guilty to two charges of fraudulent use of an access device.
